Description

• A simple and reliable test to detect symptoms of colon polyps
• Sterile rapid test to detect the first symptoms of colon polyps, adenomas, carcinomas and other silent lesions
• Detects occult (hidden) bleeding: 0.14ul blood / 1g stool (highly specific for human haemoglobin)
• Fast & reliable - visible result within 5 minutes
• This test has been extensively evaluated by the largest European screening study (150,000 people over a period of 5 years)

Why is this test important?

• Cancer of the bowel is the third most common cancer in the UK
• It usually takes around 5-10 years for colon cancer formation
• Therefore early detection is very important and can save lives
• Everyone over the age of 40 should perform a yearly fecal occult blood test in order to minimise risk and detect colon polyps (precursors of cancer)
